The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 45-46

Chapter 45

When Yun Da returned home from the county town, it was already evening. After briefly explaining today's itinerary, he took out the things Yun Yi had asked him to bring back and the food he had bought himself amidst the children's cheers.

As expected, the package of knitted goods attracted the attention of everyone around.

"Your eldest sister said that everyone will have gloves, but the scarf will be given to Xiao Dou and Xiao E first." Who made the twins go to school? These warm clothes are essential for them.

"They look really nice."

Yun Xiao Lu received a pair of bright red knitted gloves, and her whole mood became beautifully uplifted. She had never seen any child in the village wearing knitted clothes before.

Not only her, even Yun Shuang happily touched his gloves several times. Xiao E and Xiao Dou also received a scarf each and immediately tried them on.

"Let's put these things away. It's not too late to wear them during the New Year." Zhao Yueji called everyone to eat while asking her eldest son for detailed information about the Lunar New Year in her parents' home.

This year was naturally difficult for the Zhao family, but Zhao Yueji's eldest brother also brought New Year's items when he returned this year, so they could still manage to have a decent New Year.

"I heard from your uncle that some communes have already approved relief grain before he went home. I wonder if our commune will be able to get approval. I heard they still haven't received a reply."

For most families, whether they can hold on until the next harvest for rationed grain is crucial. However, many families may not even have enough money to afford relief grain.

But regardless of whether it can be approved or not, having money in hand is always good. When Yun Da left Zhao's house, he left fifty yuan for his uncle, saying that he couldn't come home often to be filial to his grandparents. He asked his uncle and aunt to occasionally buy something for the elderly with that money.

"Don't spend all the money you have. You've already taken your salary home. Your father and I will take care of buying whatever the house needs. You should keep some money for yourself."

Zhao Yueji naturally wasn't unhappy with her son's filial behavior, but the thought of her son using his hard-earned money to support the family made her feel heartbroken.

"Our family doesn't lack money to spend. Don't send your entire salary back; otherwise, your father and I will have to save some for you again," Zhao Yueji said as she explained to Yun Da about the money they had saved for the children.

Yun Da looked at his own bank passbook, which already had over 600 yuan saved. This was considered a substantial amount in the countryside.

"I sent it back for you all to spend. Why save it?" Yun Da estimated that most of his salary for the past two years had been saved in this passbook.

At other times, it would be fine, but this year the expenses for grain replacement would definitely be substantial. However, his parents hadn't touched much of his salary.

"Your younger siblings also earn money by picking medicinal herbs. With their regular income and the portion taken from your salary, your father and I have managed to save quite a bit."

But now that the children's marriage matters hadn't been settled, that would be the major expenditure. However, apart from Yun Da and Yun Shuang, the other children were still young.

After hearing about the family's income, Yun Da finally realized that his younger siblings were also capable of "earning a lot of money."

"This is much better than when I was young," Yun Da sighed. He had previously thought that their income would barely be enough for his younger siblings to buy stationery for school.
